L30 weapons

[Asmosis]

Don't know how many people noticed, but you can upgrade L25 weapons to L30 now instead of them staying at L25. It's not retroactive, so may want to re-farm some.

Soothsayer also got nerfed (fixed?) so that its dmg/bonuses scale correctly making it just another club.

why you little...

i told people before to not upgrade thier weapons before the next update. this cap would have been lifted once characrer goes to 30 or higher normally. i guess they decided to do this early to compensate for the broken shroud weaver staffs that stuck around at level 35 to bring all classes atleast a bit in line gear wise.

not that it matters given if they dont address this terrible rng loot system sooner or later youll chestfarm the same weapons just with higher stats at level 50 again.

I found a wand and two swords today that I've never seen before. Don't know if I just missed them, or they're new, pretty sure at least one sword is new, and has a dedicated location.
Then again, I don't have a problem with rng loot. I think Outward used a combination; weapons had a dedicated location, armor was mostly crafted, and other loot was rng from chests, etc. Of course, since the map doesn't change, that means everyone knows that for weapon X, you must go to location Y. I like not knowing where everything is. it can be frustrating to be one build, and keep getting gear for another build, but I don't mind farming a chest, either.

Yeah Outward had a good combination of RNG loot, placed loot and crafted loot.

Crafting armour has its place as a stopgap till you find better gear, however the weapons are completely trash. At the very least they should craft a version at your character level instead of the level you unlocked them, even if they can only be white.

The ability to craft any level item you wish is something we ought to have, even if it is of low quality. That way, even if it isn't BIS, you can get gear relevant to your level.

Yup, every time i see that L7 staff at the alchemist as the *ONLY* magic weapon you can craft i facepalm a little bit.

Also can anyone tell me why it gets flagged as a quest item in my inventory? i don't understand that.
